Testimonials

Lovely people - Amazing experiences

Shepherds Hut

…really loved it, wish we’d had longer…such a great hut and amazing location.

Fabulous!

As locals this was our first visit to Kingfishers and wow what a pleasant surprise. We had afternoon tea which we learned was freshly made and was amazing. Served with a pot of tea each (coffee was available) and presented really nicely. The staff we met were so friendly and a credit to the front of house tea,. On entering from the large car park you walk towards the bar with the restaurant on the left and the informal bar/lounge area on the right -complete with log burner and huge comfy sofas. Prices very reasonable…and you don’t have to play golf! Highly recommended.
